The blazing sparks of friendship grow

From kindled flame to warming glow

People come and go in turn

Flames start up then lower burn

But always for that warmth will yearn

Where blazing sparks of friendship grow

Each piece of wood burns on its own

Uniquely makes its nature known

Slowly morph and meld until

Flames unite the space to fill

Though sharing heat and kindling, still

Each piece of wood burns on its own

At last the embers burning bright

Spread solid heat into the night

Differences unite to form

Common goals, to light and warm

A base to weather any storm

Within the embers burning bright
